Creed adopted a new tactic for this fight. He seemed to enjoy toying with Green for the first two rounds. Creed made Green look the fool, off balance, bewildered and unable to come close to breathing on him much less land a glove on him.

Rounds three, four and five were plain beat-downs of Hatcher, complete with a knockdown in the fourth round and a bloody nose in the fifth round.

Creed returned to toying with Green in the sixth round. He again showed Hatcher slow and bobbling as he constantly kept in motion, landing blow after blow. Green only flailed at the moving target darting around him. The round ended with Hatcher exhausted, pounded and with Creed unscathed, warmed up and grimacing.

Round Seven spelled the end.After patiently working the ring, Creed floored Green at the 2:15 of the round.Hatcher didn't get up.

Maybe he woke up on the wrong side of the bed the morning of the fight.Creed was about a different kind of business in this bout.
